Spreadsheet | Commencement | Replays | Schedule​
  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for hosts to make decisions for activity calls when we can see what went down with scheduling.
  • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to the hosts or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
  • Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
  • If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
  • Replays are mandatory. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
  • Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

How to miss playoffs?
Since this is very close i thought it'd be interesting to see how everyone can get in playoffs, but when doing the post i accidentally did the opposite, you'll see.
This is the score right now:
1724067934388.png

To make sure there's no confusion with the Goal Average, here is the score with GA:
Qwonkas (6) +8
Machoke (5) +2
Monferno (4) +2
Nuzleaf (3) -2
Psyducks (3) -4
Linoone (3) -6

5 right / 7 wrong / no invalid -> Total Score: 26 W / 17L / 7 invalid
My first losing week for predictions, but very positive overall.

(3) Martini Machoke vs Lively Linoone (3)
SV NFE: 5Dots vs Mirbro - I'm not sure if they have played against each other before. With that said, 5dots edges out in the meta aspect by being far ahead of Mirbro, especially when he has been on vacation for the earlier weeks. His team also reflects on how ahead they are over Mirbro IMO, and 5dots has lot of tricky things that Mirbro may not be aware of such as Scarf Missy, and obscure flowcharts that look very prepped on that player while Mirbro's "trying to build w/o hazard removals or anti hazard hasn't shown the most successful results here. I'm not saying 5dots is in the clear over Mirbro, but he has those small cases of advantages that build up together that make it hard for me to bold against him. However, I'd like to see Mirbro proving me wrong here because whoever gets the better play, gets the key mu aspect that lasts in the long term and doesn't succumb to tilts(seriously please do not make it harder for yourself) wins here. This is why it can easily go either way, but I'm more confident on 5dots based on his recent activity.

SV NFE: Stareal vs Demirab1 - Demirab's different approach to SV NFE + and decent gameplan edges just slightly enough for me to see him take over Stareal. However it can be hard to trick Stareal, plus if Stareal gets good prep + has a team that punishes Demirab's team structure there's no contest for Demirab to win here. Either Demirab wins this in a close game, or Stareal steamrolls em tbh.

SV NFE: Mh vs TTTech - Mh without tilting himself for dumb reasons, takes his time and doesn't get bothered by his bad plays in the middle of the game = Owns TTTech clearly, especially when he takes more advantage of SV NFE-specific stuff that TTTech doesn't rlly think about. If any of the above happens, then TTTech will take the win unless he makes many small plays then it'll be close games bc both of them are making faults.

SS NFE: The Strap vs Lyna - Lyna should discuss this with Mirbro because I think they've a good shot to win on Skysolo, but Skysolo is legit better vs Lyna in every aspect. It will be a crazy upset if this happens tbh.

SM NFE: Gorex vs Antares - Antares will be 3-0 and go undefeated in NFE team tournaments. Generational French NFE player heh.

ND NFE: Leni vs Cao Jie - Smelling an upset once again. Leni is good and takes the cake if they get the MU, but I think Cao Jie got this as long they don't go overboard tho lol.


(5) Psycho Psyducks vs Dancing Monferno (1)
SV NFE: Osake vs Dunoks - Better player and seems to perform better in SV NFE atm, though Osake made one of the biggest upsets in this NFEPL so I wouldn't be surprised if Osake snipes this one once again.

SV NFE: Ivar57 vs TTK - Ivar's a more solid player than TTK overall. Excited to see this because I like both of them for different reasons so like, I'll be watching this one.
SV NFE: Lepton vs Dragonillis - Dragonillis proves me wrong on predictions every time, but this time for sure Lepton will kick ass:swole::swole::swole:

SS NFE: Ojr vs Maybca☆〜ゝ。∂ - This is certainly an interesting match the more I think about it. Ojr is willing to go out of his comfort zone, but he certainly prefers when the team has a strong structure of flow where it strings together while Maybca tends to go deep in a way where they will try to disrupt an opposing team's "comfort zone", basically trying to invalidate the flowchart and ruin the strength of the team based on the prep. In all honestly, I can't fathom how the match will look like at preview. I'm only betting Jr to win because he's a better player than Maybca, although being fundamentally better isn't that huge of a factor as both of them are pretty damn deep in the meta. Very hyped to see this tbh.

SM NFE: Feen vs Raf - Raf loses if he plays it poorly, but if not it can go more even. I have a feeling that Feen will take this week as well.

ND NFE: Zastra vs Sealoo - It's easy to predict against Zastra due to his score, but I feel like he's ready for Sealoo and I hope both of these players punish each other's habits extremely well. Zastra's a case where he likes to try different structures to explore the new meta, while Sealoo is more optimized and makes solid builds. Those are good and bad traits as Zastra may go over his mind and therefore end up a less solid team, while Sealoo may be prone to good prep as his team has this 5 slow, but only buzz as he tries to outlast the opponent. It's not a bad thing, but that makes me wonder if he struggles to make more speed control, faster-paced type of teams. Either way, it'll be a treat to watch this game for sure.


Me and Pandadoux will play 9 pm gmt+2 Thursday, best of 3 of course ;)
